Man., Moy 16, T94 J?FAR1VI and GARDEN NEW Larger Winter More Peaches Production of WASHINGTON-CP) The Ag riculture Department forecasts this year's winter wheat crop at 1,021,476,000 bushels as ol Mav 1. This is 1,790,000 bushels more than the 1,019,686,000 iorecast a month ago. It compares also with last year's crop of 990,098,000 and with a ten-year (1938-47) average of 726,553,000 bushels. No forecast was given on spring wheat. But If this class of wheat turns out at last year's size of about 300,000,000 bushels, the combined winter and spring crop would be 1,321,476,000 bushels. The largest wheat crop on record was 1,367,186,000 bushels, grown In 1947. Last year's crop wag 1,288,406,000 bushels and the ten-year average is 942,623,000 bushels. COMBINES J. I.

Tracks Vol. XI Published Weakly by the Douglas County Flour Mill, Makers of May 16, No. 19 UMPQUA CHIEP( FLOUR and Umpqua Brand Poultry and Dairy Feeds 1949 A Versatile Feed Most feeda are formulated for just one purpose. For Instance, the Douglas Flour Mill makes one which we call "HI-LO BROILER RATION" which Is designed to give the most rapid growth on fryer chickens. And It does a rattling good job. Some day we will tell you more about this wonderful feed In "The Feed Bag." Then we have UMPQUA RAB BIT PELLETS, which Is a Com plote feed, and Is producing some of the best rabbits at the lowest cost vou ever heard of. UMPQUA PiG RATION Is an other special feed, which will make big pigs out of little ones In the shortest possible time, and with the leastest strain on your pocketbook. Now we come to UMPQUA CALF MEAL and UMPQUA CALF PELLETS. You would naturally guess that this formu la would ne strictly inr caives. But It brines on the finest "bummer lambs"! Is often used as a "creep" feed for lambs, whereby it Is nut where lambs can get It, but the old sheep can't. It doesn't take long till the lambs are as big as the ewes, they they can't creep In any more. E'.it you wanted them big, didn't you? Take a doe with a big lllter. You can help her bring that lit ter tip to the slandanl weights at the standard time by adding a couple tablespoonsful of UMP QUA CALF PELLETS a day to her regular feed. The little bun nies will catch on quick too. After thev get started rating good, add a tablespoon for each rabbit In the oversize litter. We also have reports of many poultrymen using UMPQUA CALF PELLETS as a trigger to slart production back up after It slacks due to hot weather, laded appetites, ct cetera. A couple of pounds a nay to eacn nunnren birds, as soon as they catch on to the racket. Seems to do the job. too. But. after nil. UMPQUA CALF PELLETS were ot initially made for ralves and thev crow lust about as well as thev do on the cow. We have seen some dandy ralves that had no milk after Ihe first week. Thev were taught to cat the pellets, and from then on. there was "notn- lug to It." At the price of milk, butter- fat, etc.. It Is easy to see where UMPQUA CALF MEAL or pel lots are worth a lot of money. Funnv thing Is, a hundred pounds of Umpqua costs a dol lar and a half less than any oth er brand. Can you figure that one? Wheat Crop, Are Forecast; Milk Upped The yield of winter wheat per acre was Indicated at 18.4 bush els, compared with 16.6 fore cast a month ealier, with 18.7 last year and 17 for the ten year average. The acreage of winter wheat expected to be harvested for grain was put at 55,656,000 acres. The Department had previously estimated 61,370,000 acres had been seeded. The indicated acre age for harvest compares with 52,859,000 acres last year and 42, 500,000 for the ten-yer average. Ppach production in 10 major southern producing states was forecast at 14,738.000 bushels com pared with 14,080,000 last year and 18,330,000 for the ten-year average. The condition of spring crops Hot Weather Comet It is only May, hut one never knows, does one? We sometimes run Into hot weather unexpect edly. In fact, come to think of It, it Is Just about always that way, A sudden change causes trouble In the laying house, and sometimes even on the range. When temperatures gel up to 100 It Is hard for poultry to combat it. They often die from "heatstroke." The thing to do Is start sprinkling, which will lower temperatures 10 to 15 de grees In five minutes. If any birds become prostrated, don't lose any time In "dunking" them In a washtuh full of wnler. It won't hurt them and will re vive a high percentage of them. After completely sousing them, put them In a shady breezy place. When apiietites lag, due to hot weather, begin feeding PEEBLES CONDENSED WHEY with RUBOLAC. It Is a great appetizer, and has gobs of vitamins. Simplest way Is to self feed It In lis own container. A Scotchman bought two raf fle tickets. One of them was the lucky ticket, and he won the Hulck. When his friends came to congratulate him they found him very low. "Why,' mon, what's the matter wi' you?" "It's that second ticket. I canna Imagine why I ever bought it."

Don't Starve Babies Many of the bad habits chicks and luiks get Into are due to a shortage of feeding space. It won't pay. Feather picking, can nibalism," egg breaking and eat ing are oflen started while some Individual was waiting her turn at a feed trough or watr fount. Also many of the runts and low vitality birds get that way because they couldn't get to a feed trough. They then pick lit ...A..,.ftC io Pheasant-Chicken Hybrid Produces Superior Meat CENTRALIA UP) Do you prefer chicken or pheasant? Or would you HKe a little or. Dotn off the same bird? In spite of the fact scientists in the field of genetics said it couldn't be done, James H. Know les of Centralia and Associated Breeders after 15 years of ef fort claims to have crossed Chi nese and Mongolian pheasants with Cornish and New Hamp shire chickens. He calls the re sults "Northwesters." They are broad-breasted, with thick drum sticks, providing Knowles says more white meat and better eating. The Northwester has from 8 to 15 percent more meat on the carcass, he claims, and the fine grained meat retains "Just the right touch of the game flavor." The first chicks from the fifth cross were hatched in 1945, and by the following spring about 500 chicks were being produced weekly, which were placed in commercial broiler plants and given to local FFA members for further development. Knowles says a substantial market for the Northwesters has been established. NEW CO-OP MANAGER SILVERTON, Ore.

Milk production In April was estlmaled at 10,226,000,000 pounds, compared with 9,558,000,000 in March, 9,884,000,000 April last year and 9,956,000,000 for the ten-year April average. Egg production in April was estimated at 6,105,000.000 com pared with 6,137,000,000 in March, 6,280,000,000 in April last year and 5,986,000,000 for the ten-year April average. Stocks of hay on farms April 1 were estimated at 15,151,000 tons, or 15.2 percent of last year's crop. ter, and maybe get a case of "coxey," which they liberally pass on to their little brother's and sisters, and then the trouble starts, Even so, your birds should see the bottoms of the feeders sev eral times a week. Feed slays fresh that way, and they eat bet ter and grow heaps better. But the only proper time for feeders to he empty is In the afternoon. Kill 'em up good for evening and be SURE there Is plenty left to last till you get out there in Ihe morning. A light breakfast is a prime cause of coxey In chlx or poults. Bobby asked his dad, "Why didn't Noah swat both the flies when he had such a. good chance?" We've oflen pondered that one too. But It would have resulted In DDT being practical ly useless, By the way, we have DDT In several different strengths. Don't let old man Noah s mistake plague you all summer. Change Feeding System Many flocks were led grain free choice, or at least all they would eat during winter months. This Is a very good Idea. But you undoubtedly change your eating habits when summer comes on. You switch from meat and potatoes to lettuce and cole slaw. It's a fine Idea to do the same for your laying flocks. They don't need heavy grain feeding In summer, nor afler they gel their full growth. We suggest cutting down on UMPQUA SCRATCH to around 8 lbs. per hundred Leghorns and 10 lbs. per hundred heavies. Give them all the UMPQUA MILK KC.i; Mash or Breeder's Mash they will clean up. It has proved the best wav In the world to get high production in hot weather at low cost per dozen, when egg prices are hli;h. Hl-Le Hi l.o!

E. Finnell, O.S.C. extension seed cer tification specialist. Oregon is the leading state In alta fescue seed production. Of all seed entered for certifi cation, 87 percent met require ments and was sold by producers as certified seed stock. The dis qualified 13 percent failed to meet clean seed standards, Finnell slates. Presence of ryegrass and weed seeds were chief reasons for disqualification.

Growers in "48 Forly- three percent , of the stale's tolal certified alta fescue production, or 542,972 pounds, was produced in Union county by 26 growers. Most of the remainder, 56 percent, was grown in the Wil lamelte valley. Approximately 705,513 pounds wer; grown In this area. One percent was divided between Jackson and Umatilla counties. Presence of too much ryegrass seed accounted for 59 percent of the rejections for certification in the Willamette valley. This amounted to 74.319 pounds of seed. Weed seed disqualified the re maining 42 percent. Non-ceilified seed is not a tolal loss to oroducers. It may be mar keted as such althoueh It usually sells at a lower price as compared to certified lots. Four weed seeds were named by Finnell as chief offenders of weed free standards. About equally di vided was the presence of buck horn plantain, chess, and sorrel wilh quackgrass less frequently encountered. Approximately 16 percent of Ihe alia fescue seed which met certifirallon standards last year would not be eligible for sale In one or more slates, Finnell adds. Lack of uniformity in state seed laws Is given as the reason. It is to growers' advantage to produce "clear tag" seed, he emphasizes.

"Work in the pea fields dur ing harvest time," Long said, "will be largely of the pitch fork variety on 11 to 12-hour shifts." He reported, however, that 238 migrant workers came into this area during April, and that there were sufficient workers in the surrounding territory to provide "more people than will be need ed." Farmers reported to Long that peas are progressing satisfactorily but that they're "ready for rain anytime." Crops may be dam aged if the warm weather con tinues, he said. ggggygWOH'TI WE HEW goodyear O-P-E-N C-I-N-T-E-R SUPER-SURE-GRIP TRACTOR TIRE In actual farm tests, thli sensational new tir got tractors through wet, slick, slippery soil where other tires boageti down.

When Silage Is 'Right' Shown in OSC Pamphlet Drawings that show when grass silage is "just right" are contain ed in a new O.S.C. extension cir cular, number 531, entitled "Good Silage Is Not Too Wet Nor Too Dry But Just Right." This han dv four-page folder is now availa ble through county extension of fices or by writing direct to the college. When grass silage is made cor rectly, the circular shows, a handful when clenched In the hand, then released, will spring slowly apart. There is also a slip'; feeling of moisture in the hand. Grass silage made thus contains about 30 percent dry matter and is "just right" for good silage. Preservatives, storage, crops to use, and time of harvest are also briefly covered In the folder.
